Again you lied to me,
The words tumbling out of your mouth;
"Ti Amo"
Universal lies,
"Ich liebst du"
"Je t'aime"
I didn't fall for it this time,
I knew your lovely dark, piercing eyes were full of deceit
[Like you told me so many months ago when I commented on their beauty]
I knew that everything you ever said to me was a half-truth,
"I love" being the truth,
"You" - the lie.
I knew what I was in for this time;
A booty call,
An ego boost,
Another girl about whom you could say;
"I kissed her"
I knew I'd kiss you that day,
I wanted to,
My ego needed some help,
A jolt,
A boost.
I'll always relish the memories we had,
You were the first boy to tell me they loved me;
I felt a tingle in my spine,
I like to think that you thought you felt it,
Just for that first time.
I can wear my necklace again,
The one with the grenade,
It brought us together
But for week after week when we were apart
The idea of it touching my flesh
Was the same as if it were made of acid,
Repulsive.
You were right about those lovely eyes,
So piercing,
So deceitful,
So potent.
I thought I could read you,
Through your eyes,
Like all the others I can,
But you, you are the one,
The darkness is impenetrable,
A black abyss.
But I can't help how I fell in so deep,
Falling down the spiral,
Tumbling,
Deeper,
Deeper.
But unlike when Alice found the key,
But the door was too small,
I have stepped through the looking glass,
And I can see through it all.

"And the lion fell in love with the lamb" - Edward Cullen, from the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer.
In my case the lamb fell in love with the lion.
I don't regret it [him] at all.
In a list
You can't fool me anymore.

"I love" being the truth,
"You" - the lie."
I loved that. It was so clever and really summed up the stabza so well. Especially the part about half truths.
"But unlike when Alice found the key,
But the door was too small,
I have stepped through the looking glass,
And I can see through it all."
I could really relate to this entire thing about how things seem for real sometimes but they were 'half truths' because only one side beleives them.
